Despite both camps accusing each other of falsifications, both local and  international observers have deemed the runoff transparent and urged both  candidates to accept the results.

Timoshenko seems unwilling to accept defeat and says it’s too early for  Yanukovich to start celebrating.

“The split of three percent in the exit polls is within the margin of  error,” noted Timoshenko. “Everything will depend on how our team does  with the remaining votes yet to be counted. I urge all responsible for it: hold  onto every protocol, every document and every vote, because one vote could  change the future of Ukraine.”

It was quite the opposite atmosphere in the Yanukovich camp. When the  presidential candidate took to the stage, he was greeted with a standing  ovation.

“I congratulate you and all of Ukraine with the victory in the  vote,” said Yanukovich. “People wanted a change and in this election we  have made the first step toward uniting our country.”

Despite what the early results suggest, both presidential hopefuls say they  are sure of victory – and the blame game that was a permanent feature of the  election campaign looks set to continue.

Scandal that surrounds the ballot has spilled outside the country’s  borders.

Dozens of voters in Moscow have complained that they were denied the chance  to cast their ballots because the doors of the Ukrainian embassy in the city  closed two hours before schedule.
Despite their efforts to gain entry to the  building, security guards would not let them. 

The embassy says voters who came after 7 p.m. should have filed a special  application in advance.

Despite big corruption in Ukraine, the candidate who gave

his country the best chance to recover from this previous

president's failures.. has WON!!
